About this ranking

Population under 16 plus population 65 and over, divided by population aged 16 to 64, times 100.

Spain only, from INE. For EU countries and regions use dependency_ratio_15_64, which splits the ages at 15.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the municipalities are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
